Over the weekend of 2nd and 3rd May 5 students from St Ives School will be walking over 35 miles to simulate the Ten Tors event that they would have been taking part in but which has been cancelled. They will be taking in turns to do this carrying rucksacks around their homes and gardens. They will also be camping out overnight and aiming to finish by Sunday lunchtime.
